Chapter 293 The Elephant That Was Killed
Chapter 293 The Elephant That Was Killed
Lin Xiao's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Something has happened."
At the same time, everyone who had been dozing off on the sofa looked up again.
"what?"
Everyone instinctively looked at Lin Xiao and saw him staring intently in one direction, so they followed his gaze and looked up.
As a result, all they saw was the staff member who had been in charge of receiving them, turning around with an embarrassed look on his face.
Lu Chengshen caught up with him in a few steps and asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"
The man's face was extremely pale, and he hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking.
“Elephants that have been hunted and killed have been found on the mountain.”
He looked at his leader with a fearful expression, his brows furrowed, and silently shut his mouth.
My heart was pounding, and my mind was filled with the promise I made last night.
This is truly the end!
Surprisingly, Lu Chengshen didn't say anything.
She glanced at him briefly and immediately made a decision.
"Let's get up the mountain now, and we can talk about the rest later."
Lin Xiao frowned deeply, her face looking extremely pale.
When they rushed up the mountain, the police had already arrived.
The elephant's enormous body was left aside, its entire head cut off.
Not far away, the elephant's head, cut into pieces, lay discarded to the side.
The elephant's trunk and tusks at the very front had all disappeared.
Nearby, police officers were explaining the circumstances of the elephant's death to researchers.
"The elephant's body temperature had not completely cooled down, so it is estimated that it has not been dead for long."
"It should be about three or four hours from now."
Upon seeing Lu Chengshen arrive, the two exchanged greetings before Lu continued to explain the current situation.
Have you found any trace of the suspect?
"A discovery!"
The police led them a short distance forward and then pointed directly in the direction ahead.
“Look at the marks in the grass on the ground. There should be three to five people. They came from this direction, killed the elephant here, and after getting the ivory, they should have left directly in this direction.”
Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen exchanged a solemn glance.
This direction really does lead to the neighboring country.
However, the entire forest covers nearly 500 square kilometers, and according to the police's estimate, only three or four hours had passed.
If that's the case, and if they act quickly, they might still be able to catch up with these people!
Upon hearing that they were preparing to continue their search, the police chief quickly stopped them.
"Sigh, this should have been our mission, but unfortunately I don't have any manpower available right now. Since you want to continue the pursuit, I'll find you some help."
As he spoke, he turned and called out in one direction, "Old Wei, come here!"
Some people looked in that direction with curiosity, and soon they saw a middle-aged policeman walking over.
He held a German Shepherd in a black uniform on his right hand. The little guy stuck out his tongue and looked around at the people with curiosity, behaving extremely well.
The police officer introduced them, "Minister Lu, this is Wei Ming, a veteran police officer who has been in charge of handling various wildlife crimes, and this is Baozi, the police dog that has been by his side on missions!"
"If there are no problems, let him lead you on the pursuit; it should save a lot of effort."
They didn't have many people to begin with, so since someone was willing to help, Lu Chengshen naturally didn't refuse.
Upon hearing the other person's words, Lu Chengshen quickly thanked them before turning to exchange a few pleasantries with Wei Ming beside him. Lin Xiao paid no attention to these social interactions and didn't think much of it, only watching with some concern in the direction the criminals had left.
Moreover, she had a vague premonition that the dead elephant in front of her was definitely not the last one.
Just then, a little boy's voice came from beside him.
"Ugh, ugh, this is so annoying!"
"They start talking non-stop as soon as they meet. Why do humans talk so much?"
"The boss has already assigned the task, how come you still have the mood to chat with an annoying person for so long?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Lin Xiao turned around in surprise and saw Baozi standing in the same spot, pacing around impatiently several times.
Finally, having no other choice, he went around behind Wei Ming, looked up, and gave his leg a hard nudge.
He pushed people forward forcefully while muttering incessantly.
"Come on, come on, come on! Hey, Lao Wei, are you coming or not?"
Lin Xiao found it both speechless and amusing.
Finally, having no other choice, she took the initiative to sit down next to them, interrupting their conversation.
"Minister Lu, it's almost time. Shouldn't we... take action?"
Lu Chengshen nodded readily, "Okay, that's about right!"
After saying that, he called to the people beside him and then beckoned Wei Ming to set off together.
Wei Ming was always easygoing, and after their conversation, the two had become quite familiar with each other.
Wei Ming was naturally a carefree person. If he weren't still wearing his police uniform, Lin Xiao had no doubt that he would already be arm in arm with Lu Chengshen and be good buddies.
To be honest, although Lu Chengshen usually has no expression, when it comes to socializing, he can talk to anyone and everything. He seems to be able to strike up a conversation with anyone.
That's an enviable ability.
They followed the trail in the grass for quite a distance.
Until the second dead elephant was discovered...
Wei Ming looked grave. He squatted down and examined the elephant's condition, finally letting out a silent sigh.
However, something occurred to him, and a hint of doubt couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
what happened?
In the past, these poachers would almost always flee quickly after they had done their job, trying not to stay in one place for too long.
During this period, the reserve staff have been patrolling the mountains and forests very diligently to check on the elephants.
How could this group of people be so bold?
Seeing Wei Ming's expression, Lu Chengshen took the initiative to ask, "Is there a problem?"
"It's normal for ivory poaching to occur, but I don't understand why these people are so bold?"
"They still dared to commit crimes repeatedly, even though they knew that the staff of the nature reserve had increased patrols."
"Not only that, but it even leaves such obvious traces, as if it never thought of covering them up."
"It's like... they not only don't try to hide it, they actually want us to search for them!"
As Lin Xiao listened to their conversation, she lowered her gaze and slowly focused on the elephant in front of her.
On the messy grass, the huge body lay slumped to one side, the blood from the wounds still fresh.
After a long silence, Lin Xiao slowly spoke.
"Yes, they did it on purpose!"
"This forest is like their stage... They're just here to provoke us and show off their abilities."
